Hi,
Thanks for query,
You have got anemia due to chronic blood loss in menstrual period as you have got Menorrhagia.
Take treatment for excessive period.
Take good brand of Iron capsule with folic acid daily for about 3 months.
Take high nourishing food and green veges and fruits.
Ok and bye.

Hi Esther,
9.8 Hb count is indeed very low. Probably it has a deep connection with your menstrual period. Consult reputed gynecologist and treat yourself for your heavy blood loss and painful menstruation.
Despite medicines you must take nutritive diet rich in Iron and Vitamins and minerals.
You can add lot of salads which includes cucumber, carrot, tomato,and some green leafy vegetables, broccoli etc.
Also have some of the dryfruits regularly like, Almond, apricoat, fig etc. Dates are also considered rich source of Iron and calcium.
